Chapter 126 Eating
After Fan Yunting agreed to the company's decoration design, the decoration company immediately started to decorate the company's office building. I also threw myself into the busy preparation work for the company.
A week later, Fan Yunting completed all the registration procedures for the company. Ye Jianxiang Company was officially established. Through job advertisements and recruitment at the talent exchange market, I also initially recruited some specialized talents. In addition, I was busy for a few days and purchased most of the necessary office supplies for the company.
I was very busy during this period, but I felt very fulfilled. After all, a career can make a man feel motivated! Since that night, Hua Jingjing has appeared beside me as my future girlfriend. I regret that I couldn't resist her temptation that morning and almost did something worse than an animal. So I have been serious with her for many days, and there has been no violation of the three chapters of the agreement.
But I was very serious about her. I knew I was lucky to have Hua Jingjing's selfless love, so I forced myself to stop missing Xu Shu, be good to Hua Jingjing, and cherish her. Although it was difficult, I tried seriously.
During these days, the little witch Xu Xin would occasionally call me and tell me how much she missed me. She also kept telling me some interesting things that happened to her these days. I was not surprised by Xu Xin's hazy love. I firmly believed that as time went by, she would grow older and mature in her thoughts, she would wake up and forget me. So I neither rejected nor promised her anything. At most, I just told her to study hard and not be naughty.
But Qiu Jieqin seemed to have disappeared from this world. I never saw her again, nor did I receive any calls from her. Her good friend Qian Xiaolei worked with me every day. Since I warned her not to mention her in front of me, I didn't know how she was doing now. Whenever I thought of Qiu Jieqin, I always felt bad, and always felt that I owed her too much. There were a few times when I really wanted to call her to ask about her recent situation, but after thinking about it, I gave up in the end because of unnecessary trouble.
There has been no news about Gu Ruoyan since then. I asked Hua Jingjing about it and found out that she seemed to be fine and there was nothing to worry about. I felt relieved and hoped that she could have a good ending!
As for Xu Shu, I didn't even have the courage to ask about her situation. But my longing for her continued. I could always see her beautiful figure in TV commercials and on billboards on the street. It was not easy to forget her all of a sudden!
As the days passed, the company's decoration was nearing completion, and the Spring Festival of 2002 was about to arrive!
This day was three days before New Year's Eve, which is the 28th day of the first lunar month. After I got home from get off work, I went to a supermarket to buy New Year's goods. During this period, supermarkets and major shopping malls are the most crowded. The supermarkets are packed with people, crowded with people shopping for the New Year.
I bought a bunch of New Year's goods and filled up a shopping cart. Then I lined up to wait for the cashier to settle the bill. The line was so long! There were five cashiers in total, and the five aisles were lined up in long lines. I looked at my watch with a wry smile, randomly chose a line and stood at the end, complaining in my heart: "It's so long, how long will it take for my turn? If I had known, I would have come earlier to buy. Wouldn't it be a waste of time at this time?"
Suddenly I heard someone calling me happily: "Tang Qian?" I turned around and was also happy to see Cheng Jia, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, pushing a cart and waiting behind me.
I said happily: "Cheng Jia! Long time no see!"
"Yeah! Shopping for New Year's goods?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I join in the fun? Look at the line, there's a lot of waiting."
" Haha ! I heard that you and Fan Yunting have opened a company together, and you are the deputy general manager, right?"
"Hey! He's just the vice president in name only. Actually, he's just an employee. There's no difference!"
"Not bad! It seems that you have made a name for yourself. Why are you still being so modest? I supported you when you resigned, and now it turns out that I was right!"
"Hehe! If you praise me again, I'll blush!"
"By the way, excuse me, is your company still hiring?"
"Oh? You want to change jobs? Then you're welcome!"
"No! It's my younger brother. He graduated from college half a year ago and still hasn't found a job! As his older sister, I'm worried. Can you help me find a job for him?"
Cheng Jia is my great benefactor, I must help her. The company hasn't recruited all the employees yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem to recruit her brother.
So I said, "No problem! Since you Cheng Jia asked me to do it, I have to try my best. By the way, what college did your brother graduate from?"
"Really? That's great! My brother is also a chemical engineering major like you, but he is very ignorant. You have to teach him more!"
"Oh? Is he confident in researching the ingredients of liquid beverages?"
"It should be fine!"
"Okay then! Let's ask him to come to our company tomorrow with his ID, graduation certificate and relevant resume!"
"Thank you, Tang Qian! Thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal later!"
I smiled and said, "No need for that, right? You've helped me a lot before, so it's only natural for me to help you once. No need to be so polite!"
"That won't work! Didn't you treat me to a meal as a thank you? Then I must treat you this time too, you can't refuse!"
I actually liked this cute girl and didn't really want to reject her. But I pointed at the two shopping lanes of mine and hers and said, "Look, we've bought so many New Year's goods. How are we going to eat when the time comes? I think we should just forget it!"
Cheng Jia rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "That's easy! Let's take our food home first, and then come out to eat! To be honest, I'm bribing you so that you can't regret it after eating! No matter what you say, you have to accept my treat!"
Seeing Cheng Jia's cute smiling face, I was also in a good mood. It's been a long time since we last met, so it's nice to chat! It doesn't matter if I treat her or not, I have to help her anyway.
So I smiled and said, "Well, since you insist on bribing me, then I will have to be corrupt too. Where are we going to eat later?"
Cheng Jia was so amused by my humor that she couldn't stop laughing. After a long while, she said, "Then let's go to the place where you invited me last time! You can't complain about it being bad!"
"All right! That's it!"
After a while, Cheng Jia and I settled the amount and parted ways at the supermarket entrance. We agreed to meet in an hour at the restaurant where we had dinner together last time.
I hurried home, put down my things, explained to my family and went out. An hour later, I arrived at the restaurant on time. Cheng Jia was already waiting for me at the old seat. When she saw me come in, she stood up and greeted me with a smile: "Tang Qian, you are here ? You can't save money for me tonight, just order whatever you want to eat."
I actually decided to pay for the meal myself. Cheng Jia is my great benefactor and lifesaver! How could I let her pay for the meal? So I said, "Okay! I won't be polite!"
After sitting down, I took the menu from the waiter and ordered five or six expensive dishes in one go. Cheng Jia stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "You...are really rude!"
I laughed loudly, but didn't point out what I meant. After the dishes came, we ate and chatted. She said her brother's name was Cheng Gong, who had just graduated from Southwest University and had been idle at home. Her mother always asked her, as an older sister, to find a good job for her brother, but how could a good job be so easy to find these days? Her brother was very lazy and never cared whether he had a job or not. So Cheng Jia asked me to take better care of him in the future and not let him be idle all day and not work hard.
I smiled and agreed. Halfway through the meal, my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Mr. Fan calling. I said to Cheng Jia, "Excuse me, I have to answer the call."
I pressed the call button and said, "Hello! Mr. Fan!"
"Tang Qian, where are you?"
"I'm eating out, what's the matter?"
"I need money! But the bank is closed and I don't have enough money. Do you have the card I gave you?"
I touched my pocket and said, "Yes! Are you in a hurry? Then I'll send it to you. Where are you now?"
"I'd better come to you. Where are you eating?"
After I told her the address of the restaurant, I put down my phone and said to Cheng Jia with a smile, "It's Ms. Fan Yunting. She used to be your direct supervisor! She's coming over soon. Let me talk to her about your brother first!"
Cheng Jia also had a good impression of Fan Yunting and said, "Manager Fan is really capable. I think you will create a big career by following her!"
I smiled and said, "I hope so! Come on! Let's continue eating!"
I picked up a shrimp and was about to eat it when my cell phone rang again. I had no choice but to smile apologetically at Cheng Jia and took out my cell phone.
This call was from Hua Jingjing.
"Hey! What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"We're eating outside!"
"Eat? With whom? Man or woman?"
"this……"
"Humph! Can't answer? Then it must be a woman! No! I want to come over! Where are you eating ?"
"Don't mess around! I have something important to do here!"
"Who is making trouble? If you don't let me come over, it proves that you have something to hide!"
"Please, Auntie, please stop making blind guesses, okay? I do have something important to do, and our company's CEO Fan will be here soon. You don't want to see her, do you?"
"Fan Yunting? Humph! I just want to see her! Tang Qian! If you don't let me come! I will suspect that you are having an affair! If you let me come, I promise to be a good boy and not make a fool of myself in front of you, okay? Please! Otherwise, I will be suspicious and worried to death!"
I really don't know whether to laugh or cry! An affair? You're not my wife, how can you tolerate it? Why would I have so much trouble just having a meal?
